Hi All
During the past two weeks I have been experiencing problems with
Google searching in Safari. It is happening more and more frequently.
When entering a search and clicking on a link, I go through various
addresses and end up on some weird sites that have nothing to do with
what I searching for.
The first address usually begins with http://www.google.com/au/search?
with a search string that I entered.
Then it goes to an address beginning http://copy-book.com/ (and again
with the serach string).
Then it gets redirected, jumped through various addresses that begin
with ISP likes
http://99.198.101.42 (somewhere in Houston Texas) and
http://216.133.243.28 (somewhere in Las Vegas Nevada)
and finally I end up on those strange websites.
If I go back (using the previous page arrows) and select again - and
maybe repeat this a few times, things seem to return to normal and I
can reach my required destination.
Also when the initial Google result are displayed on the first page,
none of them have the cache link
and if you try and select other pages the same first page is displayed.
And is the following a similar problem - or is it just targeted
marketing? A couple of weeks ago I started seeing Vimax ads repeatedly
on pages I frequently visited. Now some of these sites are very
respectable websites and I do not think they would be advertising this
stuff.
